Yesterday, a friend called me over. We hadn’t sat together for ages, so I said, “Yaar, let’s talk about something interesting today. This agent economy is growing, but I wonder where it could actually take us.”
He smiled. “Imagine an AI agent that spots a business opportunity, hires another agent for research, pays a third to build a service, and starts serving customers. At what point does it stop being a tool and become a business?”
Honestly, I paused. Because, yaar, starting a business isn’t just about doing tasks. Who decides what customers need? Who takes the risk when nobody buys? And can an agent create something valuable without a human setting the direction?
I told him, “I’ve been reading about Kite. It presents itself as infrastructure for this kind of economy—giving agents verifiable identities, delegated authority, programmable payments, and a way to transact with other services.”
He said, “Fair enough, but payment infrastructure can help agents do business. It doesn’t automatically make their business a good one, does it?”
That stayed with me. Maybe the bigger shift isn’t simply AI doing our work. It’s AI potentially assembling the pieces of a business itself—while humans still need to decide what deserves to exist.
I looked at him and said, “Yaar, can I turn this conversation into a post? I think people should be asking this question too.”
